Product Information

• Name: 6-Deoxy-L-psicose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Deoxy-L-psicose is a d-arabinose analog that can be used as a substrate in the enzymatic synthesis of L-arabinose. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of phosphatase and glutamicum enzymes in vitro. 6-Deoxy-L-psicose binds to the active site of the enzyme through its phosphate group, which prevents access by an incoming substrate. The phosphate group also acts as an electron donor for the enzyme, stabilizing it through hydrogen bonding interactions. X-ray structures of 6-deoxy-L-psicose bound to corynebacterium glutamicum have revealed a ternary complex with two molecules of corynebacterium glutamicum and one molecule of 6-deoxy-L-psicose.
